A Brooklyn woman beat murder and conspiracy charges yesterday for her alleged role in the killing of her husband for $1.5 million in insurance money.

But the jury of six men and six women did nail Lory Scott, 21, for attempted grand larceny, finding that she fraudulently tried to collect the benefits after the murder.

“I was very surprised,” said Danielle Singleton, the sister of the dead man, 37-year-old Nubian Knight. “She’s a coldblooded killer and she has to live with this. The family is saddened by the verdict.” Prosecutors never alleged that Scott was the one who bludgeoned Knight to death in December 2003 inside his BedfordStuyvesant apartment, but accused her of plotting, along with her uncle, Demark Black, to marry him and later cash in on the policies.

The investigation into Black continues, but he has not been charged.

Defense lawyer Alan Stutman attempted throughout the 10-day trial to paint Scott as a naive teen following her uncle’s orders.

“I think all parties should be satisfied with the outcome, knowing from the beginning that she wasn’t the prime mover,” Stutman said.
